Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier
We had incredible weather as we passed over the terminal moraine into Endicott Arm and progressed toward Dawes Glacier, the destination for our last expedition in our Zodiacs. Two rounds of cruises in our small boats brought guests close to the ice, to admire the unique shapes and brilliant hues of blue. Ice islands floated by as we cruised past towering waterfalls in the stunning fjord. It was the perfect ending and icing on the cake for our wonderful expedition aboard National Geographic Sea Bird .
